“The perfect mix between speed and commitment”
If you are a ski racer you know that the less air you get while on course the better…same principle applies in Moto. I did not realize they pre-jumped like skiers though. You really have to slow it down to appreciate the fluidity of this movement. Bubba is a super impressive athlete and his accomplishments really speak for themselves.
“No riding technique has revolutionized modern motocross like the Bubba Scrub. When James Stewart hopped on the pro scene in 2002 at a ripe 16, he brought with him enough youthful exuberance to shame a Justin Bieber concert. What’s more, it showed in his riding. Stewart was always an animated rider, moving all over the bike when he was on the track.
During his early years as a pro, he developed a technique of throwing the bike sideways on the face of jumps, which allowed him to hit the jumps with more speed while at the same time staying lower than other riders. This ultimately allowed him to put power to the ground more quickly. What became known as the Bubba Scrub not only helped lap times, it also looked awesome.”
